A Multi-Week Behavioral Sampling Tag for Sound Effects Studies: Design Trade-Offs and Prototype Evaluation

Abstract

The project will develop new tag technology needed to study the behavioral effects of sound on wild marine mammals over extended intervals. This will enable fine-scale studies of sound exposure and responses under authentic conditions and will provide data needed to assess the biological significance of responses.
